Carga pontual em um campo elétrico
• O que acontece com uma partícula carregada quando esta está na presença de um campo elétrico gerado por uma
distribuição de outras cargas elétricas estacionárias ou que se movem lentamente?
• A partícula fica sujeita a uma força eletrostática
F ~ = q E ~
Se q é positiva a força tem a direção do campo, do contrário, tem
direção oposta ao campo.

C H A P T E R 2 1The Electric Field I: Discrete Charge Distributions
The convention relating the electric field strength to the density of the electric field lines works only because the electric field varies inversely as the square of the distance from a point charge. Because the gravitational field of a point mass also varies inversely as the square of the distance, field-line drawings are also useful for picturing gravitational fields. Near a point mass, the gravitational field lines ter- minate on the mass just as electric field lines terminate on a negative charge.
However, unlike electric field lines near a positive charge, there are no points in space from which gravitational field lines emanate. That is because the gravita- tional force between two masses is never repulsive.
21-6 ACTION OF THE ELECTRIC FIELD ON CHARGES
A uniform electric field can exert a force on a single charged particle and can exert both a torque and a net force on an electric dipole.
MOTION OF POINT CHARGES IN ELECTRIC FIELDS
When a particle that has a charge is placed in an electric field it experiences a force If the electric force is the only force acting on the particle, the particle has acceleration
where is the mass of the particle. (If the particle is an electron, its speed in an electric field is often a significant fraction of the speed of light. In such cases, Newton’s laws of motion must be modified by Einstein’s special theory of relativ- ity.) If the electric field is known, the charge-to-mass ratio of the particle can be de- termined from the measured acceleration. J. J. Thomson used the deflection of elec- trons in a uniform electric field in 1897 to demonstrate the existence of electrons and to measure their charge-to-mass ratio. Familiar examples of devices that rely on the motion of electrons in electric fields are oscilloscopes, computer monitors, and television sets that use cathode-ray-tube displays.

Example 21-11 Electron Moving Parallel to a Uniform Electric Field
An electron is projected into a uniform electric field with an initial veloc- ity in the direction of the field (Figure 21-26). How far does the elec- tron travel before it is brought momentarily to rest?
PICTURE
Because the charge of the electron is negative, the force acting on the electron is in the direction opposite that of the field. Because is constant, the force is con- stant and we can use constant acceleration formulas from Chapter 2. We choose the field to be in the direction.

715CHECK The step-4 result is positive (upward), as is expected for an object accelerating upward that was initially moving horizontally.
TAKING IT FURTHER (a) As is usually the case, the electric force is huge compared with the gravitational force. Thus, it is not necessary to consider gravity when designing a cathode-ray tube, for example, or when calculating the deflection in the problem above.
In fact, a television picture tube works equally well upside down and right side up, as if gravity were not even present. (b) The path of an electron moving in a uniform electric field is a parabola, the same as the path of a neutral particle moving in a uniform gravi- tational field.
Example 21-12 Electron Moving Perpendicular to a Uniform Electric Field
An electron enters a uniform electric field with an initial velocity perpendicular to the field (Figure 21-27). (a) Compare the gravita- tional force acting on the electron to the electric force acting on it. (b) By how much has the electron been deflected after it has traveled 1.0 cm in the direction?
PICTURE (a) Calculate the ratio of the magnitude of the electric force to that of the gravitational force mg.(b) Because mgis, by comparison, negligible, the net force on the elec- tron is equal to the vertically upward electric force. The electron thus moves with constant horizontal velocity and is deflected upward by an amount where is the time to travel 1.0 cm in the direction.

Example 21-13 The Electric Field in an Ink-Jet Printer
You have just finished printing out a long essay for your English professor, and you won- der about how the ink-jet printer knows where to place the ink. You search the Internet and find a picture (Figure 21-28) showing that the ink drops are given a charge and pass between a pair of oppositely charged metal plates that provide a uniform electric field in the region between the plates. Because you have been studying the electric field in physics class, you wonder if you can determine how large a field is used in this type of printer. You search further and find that the ink drops have an initial velocity of and that a drop that has a 2.00-nC charge is deflected upward a dis- tance of 3.00 mm as the drop travels through the 1.00-cm-long region between the plates.
Find the magnitude of the electric field. (Neglect any effects of gravity on the motion of the drops.)
